I'm currently reading Chapter 15 on Representation Learning and saw this for algorithm 15.1 on page 530:
There no condition after end for and similarly no end condition for end if. Is that intentional? If so, what is the correct way to interpret it? I haven't encountered algorithm syntax like this in the past.
There is no industry standard for psuedocode as it is read by humans (for the moment ;) and the author can decide how best to represent the concepts of the algorithm with the aim of balancing precision and understandability. In this case there is a
FOR ... END FOR
block which is iterated over k for 1 to m. And an
IF ... END IF
block that is run if fine-tuning evaluates to true.
